I hope Mueller leaves the "book" home. Mueller plays by the rules, right straight down the line. I hope he has noticed that Trump ,Barr, the Republicans are not playing by rules, by the book. Mueller needs to defend his honor and the honor of this country. Sometimes you have to set the book aside.
Barr has backstabbed Mueller. Challenged his honor. Trump has been attacking Mueller for two years. It is time for Mueller to set shit right. Mueller must tell the American people the truth. What does his report really say? What did he expect Barr and congress to do with his report?
Mueller wrote a report that proved Trump was guilty of obstruction, then he said there is nothing I can do about it and then he went home. That is not good enough. It made things worse.
Mueller will either be a hero or he will go down in history as a failure, a loser. It's his choice.

(32,634 posts)I hope Mueller is so mad at Barr that he sets aside his usual caution and reticence. Mueller had better realize this is his one (maybe only) chance to set the record straight in front of the American people.

(10,010 posts)I do not expect Mueller to do so.
What I want is for Mueller to explain the investigation, where it lead, the evidence it gathered, and the obstructions it encountered.
I want the corruption of the political process and Russian meddling exposed and I want Congress to deal with it and protect our future elections.
I want to know how corrupt a Presidential Campaign is allowed to be and how far a President is allowed to obstruct an investigation before is becomes more than just a concern?
The people/voters must decide if they are ok with the current Congress letting Trump and the Trump campaign get away with the corruption/obstruction. Will the current elected GOP Congress members feel enough pressure to start impeachment proceedings? Will there be enough voters to change the makeup of Congress if nothing gets done? Can a corrupt President and WH possibly get re-elected?
Mueller can help by providing honest factual information.

(4,032 posts)Mueller stated that by DOJ guidelines, he could not charge a sitting president, only present a conclusion of investigation. Barr testified that Mueller didnt do his job by making charging documents.
So what the heck (man, I hate being polite in these cases)? Nobody at the highest level of so called justice knows which end is up? Leadership? B frickin S!!!

(2,193 posts)Throughout the entire "investigation" all I heard was what a "hero" he was in nam, and how he was relentless in going after all the big mafia boys.. But when it comes to doing anything to help now he is invisible... If he was half as good and tough and fearless as he appeared to be previously he has apparently decided that his reputation is less important than doing what is right and needed to actually save this country..
